Asmoney is made available, future labs will be explored with the Festo lab equipment. Thisis a commitment to enhance the present lab experience while continuing to advance thestudents’ experiences. If one is to dream, continue that dream to a brighter future.Summary:The courses are in a good state of development at present. While the instructor may haveconsidered waiting for the course content to stabilize, the concepts were new enough andimportant enough to begin a dialog with colleagues such as

the laboratory areoften not realistic options in classroom research. Alternatively, this situation could be addressedin the future by measuring a variety of potential group differences. This would allow groupdifferences to be ruled out or offered as an additional explanation for group performance. For students who participated in the summer program but nevertheless moved toIntroduction to Calculus, there appeared to be no benefit from participation in the summeralgebra intervention. Although these 15 students had the same large gains in pre- to post-intervention test scores as the group of students remaining in Engineering Analysis I, thisseeming improvement in algebra knowledge did not result in any demonstrated benefits in thefall

(17) Similarly, what is being tested in problem-solving in computer science is not the program, but the algorithm. This idea finds its roots in anearlier analogy by Kahlil and Levy: “programming is to computer science what the laboratory isto the physical sciences”.

WarmUp Exercises are the single most important element of the Just-in-Time Teachingstrategy. These are brief, conceptual exercises that are due before lecture periods. Students mustread assigned materials, then answer several questions via an online form. In the introductoryphysics courses at IUPUI, the WarmUps are due two hours before each lecture session.

something students do. It requirescompelling problems and well-designed laboratories, studios, workshops, and playingspaces. It demands strenuous efforts and experts to intercede with stories, admonitions,or principles when students fail, as they must, if they are to learn. Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops.

However, lack ofsignificant differences in the validity of map propositions suggests that students have notnecessarily gained a deeper understanding of associations among concepts pertinent tothe design process. Grounded in our prior work,18 we expect that once students begin toapply their conceptual knowledge to the actual design of a device (the focus of the springsemester of the course), their maps will not only contain more concepts, but more validpropositions, more precise vocabulary, and greater integration (i.e., higher line:noderatios).Links between concept map data and the number of summers students had spent inschool, or in industrial or laboratory settings were examined (industrial experience, M =1.34, SD = .61; lab experience

For example, the University of Florida converted theirlecture-based Introduction to Engineering course into a series of labs focusing on the variousdisciplines. They found that the active learning approach was preferable and saw significant increases inretention6. Other schools have taken similar approaches by having students participate in bothdiscipline-specific and multidisciplinary projects7,8,9.
